What they do
Smartaleck was founded in Osaka in 2009. It started with an online store, then owned media, then consulting. The products changed, but the work has always been bringing people in online and getting them to buy.
Today it applies that experience to corporate social media, YouTube, LINE, influencer campaigns and hiring. Partial requests, such as filming or editing only, are also welcome.
Problems they solve
| If you are facing | What they can do |
|---|---|
| Job ads bring no applicants; your workplace culture is not coming across | A recruiting social account plus end-to-end recruiting marketing, from research to interview scheduling |
| A strong product, but nobody knows your name | A corporate YouTube channel, designed and run as an entry point that compounds over time |
| Flyers and search ads miss your young target audience | Influencers they already follow introduce your product; posts can be reused on landing pages |
| Your LINE account grows, but one-size-fits-all messages drive blocks | Segmented messaging and automation with L-Step |

Planning to analysis in one place
Planning, filming, editing, posting and analysis are all in-house, so hiring, social, LINE and ads do not need separate vendors.
